User's notes
A pastel brown butterfly with a detailed, large and prominent ‘eye’ on the upper side of the fore wing, and on the upper hind wing, has a much smaller one, as well as an even smaller fawn dot. The colour is predominantly a slightly redder brown on the fore wings than the hind wings. In photo 2 there looks to be some yellowy-fawn streaky lines which are less evident in photo1. Possibly a Dusky Knight, (Ypthima arctous)?
